Your Personal Information is Searchable

One of the most common questions that customers ask at reputation.com is how much personal information is searchable online. While reputation.com reviews can control what people will likely find, it’s important to know what people can find if they really look.

Assuming that an average person knows your name, there is actually a good amount of information they can pull up. Simply entering a name along with a company can give a person your position within that company as well as any recent news articles about your professional life. In most cases it can also provide a person with your business e-mail address and the city in which you live.

Once a person is able to determine what city you live in, it is possible to run a search with those two pieces of information and pull up property records. If you own a home, this will give a person your address. Depending on your city and state, it might also give a person some basic information about how much you bought the home for and if it currently has a mortgage.

With your address, it is possible to use public zoning maps to determine where your children most likely go to school (if they attend public school), as well as make some educated guesses about where you shop, eat, and play. It may also be possible to do a public records search to determine the age, gender, and names of your children, as well as find any news articles relating to them.

A public records search will also determine your marital status, as well as the name of your spouse. Property records will typically indicate if your spouse also owns your home.

If you’re concerned about your online reputation or what is searchable online about you, contact reputation.com. Reputation.com reviews are a good way to control what information people find about you.
